autocomplete within a drop down list mac version
Hi all, is it possible to create a drop down list and then apply the autocomplete function to it ?
This answer is incomplete. The Windows ActiveX box does support autocomplete but the Mac combo box does not, as far as I know. There are many posts out there by Mac users looking for such a solution. There are some workarounds but they are kludgy.
How exactly are you suggesting implementing auto-complete in the combo-box?
Wayne,
You misunderstood the question. it is not about Windows. it is about the dropdown list in Microsoft Excel using Microsoft Excel combo box.

- You don't understand. It IS about Windows because the Mac version of Excel does not support ActiveX controls and they are not available. Your example spreadsheet does not work on a Mac because the ActiveX component is stripped out.
The dropdown box available in Mac Excel, unlike an ActiveX combo box, does not perform autocomplete.
